Most EV owners charge at home overnight at a cheap rate, and top up at more expensive public chargers. Our calculator uses a 'blended' rate based on your home/public charging mix to give a realistic running cost.
EVs often cost more to buy but are cheaper to run. The 'breakeven' point is the number of years it takes for your fuel savings to cover the initial price difference. Our calculation helps you see when your investment pays off.
